Industrial Anomaly Detection via Defect-Grounded Reasoning in Visual Latent Space

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 24, 2026 · UTC

Industrial anomaly detection (IAD) is evolving beyond conventional detection and localization toward multimodal inspection systems that can describe, explain, and reason about fine-grained defects. Although recent multimodal large language model (MLLM)-based methods improve anomaly understanding through textual reasoning and visual guidance, they face two limitations in fine-grained inspection. First, their visual refinement often requires iteratively revisiting local image regions or augmenting with additional tools. Second, the resulting local defect evidence may not be reliably preserved th
